Biography

[edit]

Born in Vassilyevka, Saratov Oblast, Soviet Union, she moved to Germany as a child (as the other pole vaulter Lisa Ryzih). She started competing in pole vault competitions as a teenager and was third in the German cup in athletics in 1999. She failed to build upon this early success and her athletics career stalled. A switch to train with Andrei Tivontchik gave impetus for greater performances and she re-emerged in 2005.[1] She cleared over four metres for the first time and improved her best to 4.35 m in 2006.[2] She began studying chemistry and sports at the Kaiserslautern University of Technology.[1] The 2007 Summer Universiade provided her with her first international competition and she took the silver medal with a personal best clearance of 4.40 m, finishing as runner-up by count-back behind Aleksandra Kiryashova.[3] She became the German university champion in 2008 and was fourth at the German senior championships later that year.[1]

A personal best vault of 4.50 m at the 2009 German Indoor Championships in Leipzig earned her a place on the German team for the 2009 European Athletics Indoor Championships. She finished in fifth place behind her teammates, Silke Spiegelburg and Anna Battke, who both set personal bests.[4] A second-place finish at the German Outdoor Championships entitled her to her first World Championships appearance.[1] She retained her university title and recorded 4.50 m for the bronze medal at the 2009 Summer Universiade.[5] A few weeks later she made her first appearance on the major European circuit, and set a new best of 4.58 m for third at the London Grand Prix, beaten only by Yelena Isinbayeva and Anna Rogowska.[6]

She scraped through the qualifiers of the 2009 World Championships, but did not perform as well in the pole vault final, taking three attempts to clear 4.40 m and finishing in tenth place.[7] She set a new indoor best of 4.60 m in February the following year and competed at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships, reaching the final and finishing seventh overall. In late June she set an outdoor best of 4.60 m to win in Reims on the Alma Athlé Tour.[8]
